Micro Machines Action Fleet Battle Pack #6 “Dune Sea Desert Skiff”

May 6, 2010

Like the Jabba and Rancor sets, this Action Fleet battle pack consists of one large piece (in this case the skiff) and several small humanoids that are in scale with other Micro Machines sets. This one was a little more problematic than the others, due to the nature of the vehicle. It has a plastic stand that is supposed to hold the skiff up as if it were flying, but it comes in two pieces and I couldn’t figure out how to get them to stay together. I finally just superglued it together and it works fine. Also, getting the little figures to stand up on the skiff was an exercise in frustration until I broke out the Glue Dots. One on the bottom of each character’s feet and they stood up just fine.

Aside from that, though, it’s a fairly nice set. It includes Boba Fett, Nikto, Chewbacca, Jedi Luke, and Han Solo figures in addition to the skiff, which has a retractable gangplank and movable steering vanes in the back.
